[QUOTE="Finn235, post: 7661950, member: 98035"]Exceptional coin! I've found that unlike Aurelian, truly exceptional coins of this dynasty are very hard to come by. I recently completed my set of the entire dynasty (minus Nigrinian) in every title they held - I believe Numerian gets the prize for quickest progression from Caesar > Augustus > Divus of any Roman emperor! As Caesar 282-283 [ATTACH=full]1316974[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1316973[/ATTACH] As Augustus (Not too fond of the weak spots, but it made the price more palatable!) 283-284 [ATTACH=full]1316975[/ATTACH] And posthumous consecration issue (these are very rare) [ATTACH=full]1316976[/ATTACH] That's about a year as Caesar, a little over a year as Augustus, and then he was dead. For good measure, the rest of the dynasty Carus lifetime [ATTACH=full]1316977[/ATTACH] Carus Posthumous [ATTACH=full]1316978[/ATTACH] Carinus as Caesar [ATTACH=full]1316980[/ATTACH] Carinus as Augustus [ATTACH=full]1316979[/ATTACH] Magnia Urbica, I have her as the wife of Carinus, but she may have been the wife of Carus [ATTACH=full]1316981[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
